This is extremely disrespectful. No matter how much Lian Zhan dotes on this daughter, he still won't spoil her.

"What a bastard!" Lian Zhan shouted sharply.

"No one in this world would abandon his wife for power, except a father! You are my only daughter, and your happiness is more important!"

"But you want to force me to marry the prince, he can't give me happiness!" Lian Jirou choked up again.

She just doesn't want to marry a man with many women vying for his favor.

Why did her father deprive her of even this choice?

"Ji Rou, the position of the Crown Princess is reserved for you." Lian Zhan said loudly.

Lian Jirou looked confused. This prince only came to her door not long ago, so why did he become the one he had left for her?

It can be seen that at this time, she can no longer hide it. If she doesn't tell her, her daughter may live in hatred towards him for the rest of her life.

Lian Zhan no longer concealed it, but finally told the dust-laden facts.

"You also remember the crime of collaborating with the Huns as a father back then, right?" Lian Zhan said slowly.

Lian Jirou nodded, she would naturally not forget this matter.

"Actually, although on the surface it was Liu Zhongqing, the prime minister of the dynasty, who set up the trap, but without Emperor Wu's acquiescence, do you think he could have done it?"

Lian Jirou's body trembled slightly, obviously extremely surprised.

Emperor Wu would actually agree to let Liu Zhongqing frame Zhongliang?

"The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade. My father had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats, and the emperor was wary of me. Liu Zhongqing saw that there was no hope of winning me over, so he just kept doing nothing. Relying on the tacit approval of Emperor Wu, he just sent a letter

This letter will put me to death."

Lian Jirou was not deeply impressed by what happened at that time.

I just remember that one day suddenly, many guardsmen broke into the house and rummaged through boxes and cabinets saying they wanted to check for evidence.

Finally, I found a letter from nowhere.

He said that it was a secret letter between his father and the Huns, involving the war between the two countries.

At that time, my mother was frightened.

Because this secret letter involves so many things, my father must take responsibility even if he doesn't want to admit it.

The mother also refused to give up on her father and insisted on not letting him admit it.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a long time.

In the end, Lian Zhan was stripped of his military power, and his mother died in depression because of this.

"Dad, what happened back then was so hidden? Why did you never tell..."

Of course Lian Jirou believed that Lian Zhan was innocent, but she always thought it was Liu Zhongqing's secret plot.

Therefore, Liu Yin asked her to go out several times before, and she agreed. In fact, she secretly wanted to overturn Lian Zhan's case.

Unexpectedly, Li Yunxing suddenly came to him and not only gave his father military power, restored his innocence, but also married him.

"This is actually a big chess game played by Emperor Wu."

"He also wants to leave a way out for the prince. A way out that will never collude with Liu Zhongqing."

Emperor Wu allowed Liu Zhongqing and Lian Zhan to confront each other.

And his goal is to achieve a balance between all parties through the struggle between the two.

"Why did he do this? Isn't he afraid that the Liu family will dominate?" Lian Jirou asked.

"Although Liu Zhongqing is greedy for power, he is cautious. If he is not 100% sure, he will not dare to act rashly."

"But just because Liu Zhongqing won't touch the throne doesn't mean he won't take action against me."

"Actually, what Emperor Wu did was to a certain extent protecting the Lian family in disguise."

After hearing this, Lian Jirou pondered for a moment and said, "It turns out that my father already understood the emperor's thoughts and deliberately pretended to be confused to make Liu Zhongqing relax his vigilance."

In fact, this is not entirely true. Before Li Yunxing came to find him, the confusion in Lian Zhan's heart had already turned into a nightmare.

"Well, Emperor Wu's plan is so far-reaching that you and I can't even imagine it."

Lian Zhan sighed and looked at his daughter with complicated eyes.

"Then what does this matter have to do with my marriage? Do you want to use me to bind the alliance between father and prince?"

Lian Jirou was still a little unconvinced.

Lian Zhan patted his daughter on the shoulder and comforted him: "There are more important things."

"You are my only heir, Lian Zhan. If you marry into the East Palace, you will be my only weakness."

"When I act as a father, I will consider you more."

"The prince's wings are not yet full, and it is the time when he needs me to pave the way for him. If you enter the East Palace, there is a protective umbrella over there, and the prince will naturally not dare to act rashly."

"At least, the prince will never dare to touch you easily now. Your life safety is guaranteed for the time being."

"After becoming a father for a hundred years, the prince can naturally take back his military power."

"For the prince, this is a win-win situation."

Lian Zhan let out a long sigh.

He fought all his life and narrowly escaped death on the battlefield to earn the title of General Protector of the Country, but in the end he was just a pawn in the emperor's chess game.

Compared with other chess pieces, they are no different.

"If you marry into the East Palace, the prince will not treat you badly in this life. When he ascends the throne, you will be the queen and enjoy the best glory and wealth."

"But if you want to regret your marriage, no one in the entire Wu Dynasty will dare to marry you."

"If you want to blame me, you can only blame your father. Who made you my daughter?"

Lian Jirou shook his head, how could this be his father's fault?

She looked down and suddenly saw the pair of crested shoes, and all kinds of thoughts surged through her heart.

"My father knows that you have always been smart, and marrying the prince is not all bad. I think the prince still cares about you. If you can help him to establish a stable position, you will definitely be the mother of a country in the future."

"Yeah." Lian Jirou nodded obediently.

Lian Zhan touched his daughter's cheek, smiled and said, "So you agreed?"

"Well, I listen to you." Lian Jirou nodded obediently.

She entered the palace not only for herself, but also for her father.

Although Lian Zhan felt reluctant to give up, he also knew that this was the best choice for Lian Jirou.

Besides, it's not that she doesn't like Li Yunxing, it's just that she got angry when she saw Li Yunxing being so indifferent to her today.

Lian Jirou is also a smart child and adjusts quickly.

"The woman from the Western Region is a little weird today. When my father sends someone to take her back tomorrow, he can send someone to pay more attention to her."

Lian Jirou reminded.

Lian Jirou's feeling has always been accurate. She always feels that women today are not simple.

"Okay." Lian Zhan pinched her nose and agreed.

Even if Lian Jirou didn't say it, he would do it.

"If you have any doubts, then go check it out."

"If you want something, then fight for it."

"If she can only hide in the house, shed tears and throw things, can she still be called the daughter of the general who protects the country?"

"How can my daughter, Lian Jirou, be so cowardly and allow others to bully her!"

Lian Jirou's eyes turned red as she listened to her father's harsh words.

This sentence was like an enlightenment, and Lian Jirou suddenly sobered up a lot.

"Daddy taught you a lesson! My daughter will remember it."
